My Abah 87th birthday

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one…” – Elbert Hubbard

It was an impromptu decision.

Coincide with my duty days in Melaka, the siblings arranged a kenduri tahlil and doa selamat to celebrate my Abah 87^th birthday and my brother-in-law Kamarul Zaman’s retirement from the Police Force on his 56^th birthday.

It was also a family gathering of sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews, plus a few of my sisters’ grandchildren. We prepared pulut kuning, fried mihun, satay, rendang, nasi empit and lodeh and a delicious home-made chocolate moist cake for desert. The majlis tahlil was held after the Maghrib prayer and was led by Ustaz Saufi.

It was a simple occasion, yet a joyful moment for us and my parents too...
